Rule 5 RUINED a great project! I liked being able to have game applets without needing to know a complicated language like java!

GJava was great and the new independent versions of things have me lost.

I discovered it, realized how great it was for the purposes of freely sharing my games, and soon after Mark gave the project up to this company,

CRASH!

This program became next to useless for me.

You can embed your games?

Does this mean only Windows users can play them though? I have Windows but have considered casually using Linux.

No Mac. Bad Mac.

This is probably an unecessary suggestion, sorry if it is.
i had a virus once that for some reason made it so that i couldnt hibernate my computer anymore.
it was really annoying.
in rule #3 i think you should add hibernate to the list of things to not prevent or force.

This may come off as a stupid question, but I have to ask. I've seen a lot of topics with great extentions, but no information about copyrights. Is there a general rule for .gex files, even the usermade ones, that automatically makes them "freeware" when published? Or can the creators of them at any time take back that they allowed other people to use their extensions?

I know that this may seem a bit irrelevant, but before I begin to rely too much on great usermade extensions, I'd like to know how the copyright stuff in this area works. If it's individually up to the creator, or if there is another standard.

Any info would be appreciated.

5. All porting or converting discussions, be it software or hardware, are NOT allowed. This includes, but not limited to, trying to port any Game Maker Games, converting the GML language, or using Game Maker on another platform.

Does this also mean extensions that convert image files (like bmp) to other image files (like jpg)? I was just wondering, cuz I want to make some sort of image converter or drawing + converting program.

When it comes to action buttons I can understand if people don't care to provide a library for their extensions, some extensions doesn't even need an action library. But all extensions needs a proper written help file. Some has, but many doesn't even have a decent text file explaining the basics. That's a rule that needs to be added. That each expansion must be completed with a guide complete with examples how to use it.

Extensions that simply duplicate existing GM functions will be removed.

Why? Would you remove an extension that does the same as some game maker functionality but like 100 times faster? I'd remove that statement.
